Talks

I enjoy speaking about design, and sharing what I know with the community

I’ve had the privilege to share my knowledge with others in the design community, and several Chicago organizations. I enjoy public speaking and getting to hear other’s thoughts on many topics. I’m always looking for more opportunities to speak. Just give me a shout!

A11y Talks - Practical Ways to Include people with disabilities

Lunch & Learn at IDEO

At IDEO in Chicago I spoke about how to be more inclusive for people with disabilities. My experience within the disability community has given me a unique perspective about how bad design creates exclusions for many people, and how including people with disabilities can help close these gaps.
